Marine Cpl. Garrett Jones lost his leg in Iraq in July 2007 and a year later was back in action at Camp Barber, Afghanistan. "He didn't just choose to come  he fought to come," said Sgt. Matthew Leonard. "We bled and sweated with this guy in Iraq, and he wants to be with us more than anything. That's awesome."
